Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A computer program to calculate the fractions of the phases present, total masses of the phases, and mass of each of the components in different phases is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

On the temperature-composition graph of an alloy, the curve above which the alloy exist in the liquid phase is the liquidus curve. The temperature at this curve is maximum known as liquidus temperature at which the crystals in the alloy can coexist with its melt in the thermodynamic equilibrium.

Solidus curve is the locus of the temperature on the temperature composition graph of an alloy, beyond which the alloy is completely in solid phase. The temperature at this curve is minimum known as solidus temperature at which the crystals in the alloy can coexist with its melt in the thermodynamic equilibrium.

Amount of each phase in wt% is calculated using lever rule. At a particular temperature and ceramic composition, a tie line is drawn on the phase diagram of the ceramic between the solidus and liquidus curve. Then the portion of the lever opposite to the phase whose amount is to be calculated is considered in the formula used as:

Phase wt%=opposite arm of levertotal length of the tie line×100 ....... (1)

Mass of a component i

(mi) in an alloy is calculated by its percent composition (%C) as:

mi=(%C)100%×m ....... (2)

Here, m is the total mass of the alloy.

the answer should be: V2= -(P0-PL/2μL)(dx-x^)+Ux/d

For some viscoelastic polymers that are subjected to stress relaxation tests, the stress decays with time according to a(t) = a(0) exp(-4) (15.10) where σ(t) and o(0) represent the time-dependent and initial (i.e., time = 0) stresses, respectively, and t and T denote elapsed time and the relaxation time, respectively; T is a time-independent constant characteristic of the material. A specimen of a viscoelastic polymer whose stress relaxation obeys Equation 15.10 was suddenly pulled in tension to a measured strain of 0.5; the stress necessary to maintain this constant strain was measured as a function of time. Determine E (10) for this material if the initial stress level was 3.5 MPa (500 psi), which dropped to 0.5 MPa (70 psi) after 30 s.
